War Taylor

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or taylor:

    “The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
    The glittering spears are ranked ready;
    The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
    The battle closes thick and bloody;
    But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
    Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
    Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
    Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    “Alas! they had been friends in youth;
    But whispering tongues can poison truth.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
